Trade for Nuke!

I would 100% be on board with this but the whole reason he wants out is his contract no? An extension he just signed 2 years ago? 

That's what concerns me. If he is expecting 25million per season when he'll be 31 at the start of the season... I'm out on that. I'd rather take that money and spend it on Lamb, Higgins, or any of the younger guys coming through the next couple seasons.

Great players are highly paid.

 

You guys can't expect to get great players for cheap. Nuk is a #1 WR my man.

No disagreement. He immediately is our best receiver since 08 Smitty. 

That said - how long is he going to be a great player. If he wants a deal paying him 25-30 million for longer than a year or two, 3 max (even that I don't feel great about that) then I'm out. 

Take that money and put it towards one of the top young guns in FA next year who will be in Nuks situation now at the end of their contract rather than the beginning.

3 years is not a longterm commitment. I think he will be elite for at least 3 more years if that's what you're asking.

 

Im saying get a #1 WR because we have a rookie QB. You don't want him to start his career off slow because he has a lack of weapons. Every QB needs a go to WR or TE.

 

3 is the absolute most that I would want. 

But what if he wants 5? What if he wants 4 tacked on in addition to his existing contract with high guaranteed money? Thats where I start to get a bit worried. 

I would give our 3rd in a heartbeat for him to come here and just play out the last 2 years on his contract. No questions asked. I just worry thats not what we'd be getting. 

And I agree, surround our QB with an embarrassment of riches on the offensive side of the ball. Do the exact opposite of what Hurney and Rivera did for Cam's career. 

I just dont know that 5 years and 250 million dollars for Hopkins AND whatever capital we are sending out is the best way to do that

There is no chance he's looking for a 5 year deal.lol

 

He's looking for a 3 year deal at top WR money. That is a fair deal considering he's still a elite talent. For a 3rd round pick we just got a better WR than what we had with DJ.

3 years 25 mil for a 3rd sign me up. No question.

lol no way he signs that.

 

We just payed Hurst that kind of contract. Hopkins is a #1 WR bro.lol

 

More like 3 years 45mil 

Sorry thought the inference was obvious but I'd meant 3 years 25 PER so a total of 3/75

3/45 is less than he's making now. He wants that Tyreke Hill/Devante Adams money.

also someone one give me one reason, besides money, that a top WR free agent would want to come to Carolina to play for a bridge/rookie qb and have a very slim chance of getting to the post season for a couple of years.

Have you been following this off-season at all? We are geared to win now if we CAN get that 1 or 2 good / great players.

    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
